All Square Recruitment
Paint Shop Operative / Powder Coating (Late Shift)
Location: Colchester, Essex
Hours: 13:45 to 22:00 (Monday to Friday)
Contract: Temporary to Permanent
About the Role:
All Square Recruitment are proud to be partnering with a leading local manufacturer in Colchester. We are looking for reliable and hardworking Operatives to join their busy factory paint shop on the late shift.
While powder coating or paint preparation experience is highly desirable, it is not strictly essential. If you have a strong background in production or factory work, a great work ethic, and want to learn a new skilled trade, full training will be provided!
Key Duties:
- Preparing metal components and fan casings for the coating process (sanding, wiping, and masking).
- Loading and unloading large components onto the overhead track/conveyor system.
- Assisting the powder coating and spray teams.
- Conducting basic quality checks on finished products.
- Following all factory health and safety guidelines (wearing appropriate PPE).
What We Are Looking For:
- Previous experience in a manufacturing, factory, production, or assembly environment.
- Experience in a paint shop, shot blasting, or powder coating line is a massive bonus, but not essential.
- Physical fitness and stamina, as you will be handling large industrial parts.
- Absolute reliability and a commitment to working the late shift (13:45 – 22:00).
- Good teamwork skills and a sharp eye for detail.
Benefits:
- Full training provided to upskill you into industrial powder coating.
- Stable, consistent hours, with available overtime.
- Clear pathway to a permanent contract for the right candidates.
- Free on-site parking and excellent facility amenities.
